demning remarks would change no
votes.
Col. Ashford thought too much
airing could not be attained.
The motion to proceed to ballot
was lost.
Col. Ashford stated that through
some misunderstanding Mr.. w. H..
Schmidt was believed TO have
favored Chinese immigration to the
detriment of the Portuguese and
native labor. Conclusive proof has
been brought to show that Mr..
Schmidt has shown himself a friend
to such laborers instead of an enemy.
lie has always discountenanced the
importation of coolie labor. He at
all events hoped and trusted, no
matter for whom the members voted,
that the paramount question would
be: SIS he a good and true sup
porter of the present Reform move
ment?"
Mr.. Olsen made several remarks
on Mr.. w. II. Castle.
DR.. Tucker thought that of the
two Mr.. w. o. Smith was far ahead
of Mr.. w. II. Castle. He had no
fear that of any business or trans
actions that will be enacted in the
legislature by our men, but he
thought that we should have men
versed in legal matters.
Mr.. s. b. Dole thought with DR..
Tucker that a man who was well
versed in parliamentary rules, etc.,
was almost essential. Mr.. Castle
had represented Hawaii one time
and Maui another. Had shown him
self an earnest worker under great
many difficulties. AS this is the
time when political preponderancc
is not in the ascendency the best
thing to be done was to elect Mr..
w. II. Castle. lie is patriotic and
is always ready for duty when duty
calls. Mr.. Robinson was a Ha-
waiian, Mr.. Warehouse, Mr.. w.
o. Smith and w. r. Castle were as
good as Hawaians. The above
with j. |. Dowsett, ST., had fought
against the last Government. Had
stood at their posts, standing the
full burst of insulting remarks, saw
outrageous measures passed, they
only being able to utter protests.
They stood this humiliation without
flinching and now as there is a
chance to show appreciation, do it.
Mr.. Hookano said he did not in
tend speaking twice to-day, but
they were drifting off into matters
they should not. They wanted
competent men that understood |
the laws and measures that are
passed. Thought that nine lawyers
would be the best to put on the
ticket.
Mr.. Kinney, on a question of |
privilege asked: "Is Mr.. Halstead |
a citizen? He is away at present
and will not return till September
18th"
Mr.. McCandless supported the
of w. +. Foster. T. j.
King and A. Young.
A motion to proceed to ballot was

house, 81; A. Young, 90; S. G.

and three more were
